Primo Video presents new Italian original format and series for 2020
During the Prime Video event, the new Italian Amazon Originals were presented in Rome, alongside the previously announced Celebrity Hunted - Manhunt (Caccia all'uomo), in the catalog from March 13, produced by Endemol Shine Italy. Actor Carlo Verdone will be the star in Vita da Carlo, a 10-episode comedy series in which the actor and director will play himself in a fictionalized version. The series is already in production, produced by Aurelio and Luigi De Laurentiis with Filmauro. Ferro will arrive in June, a documentary on singer Tiziano Ferro produced by Banijay Italia and also the culinary travelog with Carlo Cracco called Dinner Club will arrive this year, a journey with six famous Italian actors and comedians to discover the exotic culinary art (produced by Banijay Italy). Finally, The Apartment produces the first Italian Amazon Original series, the crime Bang Bang Baby, which will begin shooting in the coming months. The story, created by Andrea Di Stefano, sees a teenager who becomes the youngest member of a mafia organization.

Ferro is an unfiltered depiction of one of the most-loved artists in Italy and worldwide, revealing unpublished and fascinating details of Tiziano Ferro’s life and personality. It is not a self-celebratory documentary, the project, in fact, allows a viewer to discover original and private aspects about his life, passions and work. Unveiling a fascinating and complex personality, it will be available exclusively in June 2020 on Amazon Prime Video.
 
Dinner Club is not a classic cooking show, it is a culinary travelogue featuring Chef Carlo Cracco. Irony and adventure set the programme’s tone as the viewer discovers some of the world’s most amazing gastronomic wonders. Six special friends accompany Cracco through Japan, Vietnam, France, Spain, Peru and Mexico. These companions are made up of famous actors and comedians including Sabrina Ferilli and Luciana Littizzetto. The Chef aims to transform the guest stars into true professionals of taste, learning from the best chefs in the world, so they will be able to spot the perfect dinner. Dinner Club will be available on Amazon Prime Video in 2020.

Celebrity Hunted - Manhunt (Caccia all'uomo) sees celebrities in an attempt to remain anonymous and preserve their freedom for 14 days with limited economic resources. They will be chased by some of the most well-known analysts and professional investigators, cyber security experts, profilers and human trackers from law enforcement and military secret services. The 'hunters' will only be able to use legal means to track celebrities such as video surveillance cameras, license plate recognition systems and will have freedom in requesting information. The Hunted format was originally created in the UK by ShineTV, part of the EndemolShine Group, and this deal marks the eighth adaptation for the format worldwide.
